National Advocacy: ACTION ALERT: Call Congress NOW to Stop Medicaid Cuts and Health Care Repeal
People's health, services and lives are at stake! Congress is rushing to repeal major portions of the Affordable Care Act and to partially pay for it by capping the federal payment and making drastic cuts to the Medicaid program. The level of cuts over time would decimate the Medicaid program.
When will this happen? The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote this Thursday. The Senate has indicated that it would like to vote on the House bill before the mid-April recess.
The new bill, called the American Health Care Act, includes an $880 billion cut to Medicaid over the next decade. According to the Congressional Budget Office it will result in 24 million without health insurance by 2026, this includes 14 million fewer people enrolled in Medicaid.
We urgently need advocates to reach out to Congress and tell them to stop the repeal of the ACA and the cuts to Medicaid. Advocates need to explain why the ACA and Medicaid are essential to people with disabilities and their families.
Take Action: Call your Senators and Representatives today. Every single call matters! Don't let them take away health care and services for millions of people and pay for it with CUTS to the Medicaid program.
What to Say:
I am a member of The Arc.
Share your story: The ACA and Medicaid helps me/my family member to have health care and community based services.
